Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from St. Thomas airport (STT) in the US Virgin Islands to Charlotte Amalie, the cruise piers, the East End resorts and the Red Hook ferry dock, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Cyril E. King Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in St. Thomas takes you from Cyril E. King Airport to hotels and villas in Charlotte Amalie and Frenchtown, the cruise piers at Crown Bay and Havensight, the resorts and beaches of the East End, Magens Bay, and the ferry dock at Red Hook.
St. Thomas airport transfers start as you leave baggage claim at Cyril E. King Airport's single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each STT airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, resort, villa or cruise ship, or to the ferry dock at Red Hook or Charlotte Amalie for St. John and the British Virgin Islands; we drive you to the dock, and the boat ride is booked separately. For a ride on St. John itself, enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.
Our St. Thomas airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not one of the shared taxi vans that wait for several groups and stop at other hotels on the way. It suits families, groups with dive or golf gear, and cruise passengers heading to the pier.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Cyril E. King Airport (STT) is on Lindbergh Bay, on the south shore of St. Thomas west of Charlotte Amalie, and the Virgin Islands Port Authority runs it. All flights use one two-story terminal with 11 gates, so there is no terminal to choose.
Flights from the US mainland and Puerto Rico are domestic: there is no passport control, and you walk straight to the domestic baggage claim. Arrivals from other islands outside the US, such as Tortola, St. Barths or St. Maarten, clear US Customs and Border Protection first. Pre-booked drivers meet passengers as they leave baggage claim.
The terminal is open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and through December 31, 2026, the runway closes nightly from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for pavement work. St. Thomas is on Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) all year, with no daylight saving time, and uses the US dollar.
US entry rules. The US Virgin Islands is a US territory. US citizens flying from the mainland or Puerto Rico need no passport, only a REAL ID-compliant photo ID; international visitors need a passport and, depending on nationality, an ESTA or a US visa.
Customs on the way home. Flights back to the mainland pass a US Customs check before security, so carry proof of US citizenship, such as a passport, and allow extra time at the airport.
Driving on the left. Traffic keeps to the left in the US Virgin Islands, even though most vehicles are left-hand drive, and many roads are steep and narrow.
